However, in Thirteen-Ring where most witches are weak, there were not many capable of casting spells above Six Rings, capable of delivering damage. After all, based on the estimation of Magic Power consumption at the scene, this hit would consu about 60,000 Mana, which could potentially drain two of her sisters dry.
And the Magic Power of most Witch Students in District Thirteen was similar to that of her previous sister, around 10,000 Mana.
Great, at least now the scope of suspects has narrowed down,
thought the little witch to herself.
"Captain, you're here, ah, Princess, and Senior Mia, why are you all here too?"
As soon as they saw the others arrive, the witches who were originally guarding there ca over. They were all Alice's teammates, but they were initially surprised and then beca excited when they saw who was with their team captain.
"That's great, since the Princess is also here, that dreadful fellow definitely won't get away this ti."
"Right, right, and Senior Mia too? I want to see how that guy can hide this ti."
.....
As for Dorothy, she was sowhat uncomfortable with this.
Tsk, she had just finished taking an assessnt at the Ard Society, and while so people still sowhat looked down on her, feeling she took advantage of assessnt rules and won trickily, which wasn't very righteous, now it was just a month of eating, and suddenly they had all flipped their attitude?
Of course, the food had indeed played a part, but what mattered even more was actually her Martial Soul.
The Fairy King Martial Soul had been going to the Ard Society every day for special training during that month. Although most of the ti she conserved her Magic Power and did not manifest, occasionally she would appear and spar with others.
Unlike Dorothy's social anxiety in her real self, the Fairy King Martial Soul had inherited the social champion aspect from Dorothy's online persona.

After all, a hobody is typically timid and compliant in reality but takes aggressive action online.
In this one month, the Martial Soul had beco quite popular in the Ard Society. Her unbelievably fast progress truly subdued many from the Disciplinary Team Thirteen who were also receiving special training.
Moreover, the Fairy King Martial Soul was never secretive. She was happy to share her experience, truly a life-saver for those suffering under Euphilia's rigorous training sessions.
After all, Mother Dragon was not fond of talking; her training was naturally more practical than theoretical, emphasizing that if sothing could be done physically, there was no need for discussions.
So, her teaching thod was also very direct, involving continuous actual combat where she would constantly target the students' flaws and beat them up trendously, and if the sa flaw persisted, she would beat them up again, even harder than before.
In short, she used pain to help the students rember and urged them to promptly alleviate their flaws. Being beaten up frequently naturally led to them learning their lessons.
But such a direct teaching thod required high perceptiveness from the students; those who were perceptive quickly learned their lesson after one or two beatings, but it was difficult for those who were less perceptive, and during such tis, the pointers from the Fairy King were life-saving.
Though, her pointers were also a bit sarcastic, using phrases like, "It's easy; just position like this, then do this, just need your hands." "No way, how could anyone not understand sothing this simple, you only need....." "If you don't fix this ... fatal flaw soon, you'll probably get killed."
Yeah, truly love-hate pointers.
What one hated was her incessant babbling, a natural knack for sarcasm, and what one loved was her keen eye that could pinpoint the crux of issues.
Thinking about the things her Martial Soul had done, Dorothy felt sowhat uneasy in front of the people from the Ard Society, having a sense of being publicly executed, especially when she overheard soone whispering.
"Wow, the Princess's real body is so quiet, that's just great. Although the Fairy King Martial Soul is also good, it does tend to run its mouth."
"I think the Fairy King is more fun, I used to play Magic Web Duel too, and I've been a fan of the Fairy King since then."
....
Dorothy: "..."
This damned Martial Soul, ruining my reputation.
The hobody witch couldn't help but shiver with rage.
"And do you really think I'm so kind of all-powerful creature? I'm just a little witch, and when it cos to investigation, you professionals don't fare much better. I'm just here to join the excitent, what could I possibly figure out?"
Dorothy was internally complaining about the high expectations these Enforcent Team mbers had for her.
Although she had watched plenty of Detective Shinigami as a student in her past life, that didn't an she could actually beco a famous detective.
However, even though she felt this way, Dorothy still put on a confident front and started to wander around the ruins of this desolate floating island.
To add to her presence, she even pulled a pipe out of her bag and clenched it in her mouth, though it was just for show and filled with a magic potion ant to calm the mind, not tobacco.
The little fox, maintaining its Akari form, followed by her side, acting as the detective's assistant.
The Earth-Wood sisters looked like they were cosplaying a detective team, but in reality, they had already started enthusiastically researching the architectural thods of the floating island.
Luckily, aside from these two unreliable external helpers, Senior Mia seed very dependable.
The Golden Princess frowned as she observed the ruined floating island, her expression growing serious.
"Have you checked the local spell-casting permits?"
She turned towards Alice's team and asked.
You must know that the entire Witch Academy is enveloped by a spell-control barrier. High-power lethal spells are regulated within the academy, and outside of special places like the Arena, any spell-casting in other areas requires authorized permission.
Logically speaking, the release of high-risk magic in the tropolitan area should have been detected and frozen during the casting process, but now, an accident had occurred.
"Senior, we checked early on, and the result was that the person was untraceable, just like last ti. Otherwise, we wouldn't have taken so long and still not found anyone," one replied.
By Alice's side stood a proficient witch with two round white ears, several giant horns on her head, and a long slender tail trailing behind her.
This was Alice's deputy, the vice-captain of Team Thirteen, the mouse-person witch, Ista.
"We've already raised questions to the Holy Words Departnt about checking the operational status of the academy's barrier, but those guys claid that the barrier was functioning normally."
As she ntioned this, the mouse-person witch's face showed a hint of anger.
The Holy Words Departnt is responsible for maintaining the Great Barrier of the academy, but this departnt doesn't actually belong to the academy—it's part of the Angel Family inherited by the Divine King.
Although Witch Academy is established by the Angel Family, it doesn't an that the Angel Family equals the Witch Academy. In fact, the academy is just the largest and most renowned enterprise of the Angel Witches; they also have so other enterprises.
Thus, the Holy Words Departnt isn't managed by the student council but governed autonomously by the Angel Witches.
However, the current head of the Holy Words Departnt is from the faction of the Director of Studies, and their relationship with bodies like the Disciplinary Team Thirteen hasn't been very good.
"Although those Angels are indeed a bit arrogant, they wouldn't neglect their duty in such critical matters concerning the safety of the academy. If they say it's all normal, then the Great Barrier must indeed be functioning fine," Mia did not seem as upset as the little witches. She had nurous interactions with mbers of the Holy Words Departnt and understood their personality well.
You must know, the Great Barrier of the academy was left by the God King, and the internal structure of the Angel Family is quite fascinating—it's not like a typical family structure, but more like a religious organization. Their highest deity is their ancestor, the God King.
Now, if soone ca into your church and claid that the holy relic left by your deity was damaged, it's unlikely they would be gracious about it. However, given the Angel Witches' devotion to the God King, which borders on zealotry, even if they didn't believe it, they would certainly check the status of the "Holy Relic" thoroughly after such a claim.
Therefore, it's likely true that the Great Barrier is still operating normally.
So the question becos, if the Great Barrier is functioning fine, then why didn't it intercept this attack? Could it be that soone erased the spell-casting records? But only the Angel Witches have ever had control over the Great Barrier...
Ah, this...
...Senior Mia fell into deep thought....
